High humidity in UK high temperatures

In Vietnam you could buy neck wraps with some sort of synthetic jelly in them and put them in the fridge. They were wonderful. They may well have them on Amazon.

Just aircon or at least a fan. When our kids were babies and we didn’t have aircon I used to put them in a crib surrounded by wet cloth nappies with a fan directed at the nappies. We used to get very hot 40C days.

Air conditioning, fans, and dehumidifier will all help. And maybe most important: hydrate!

V3ra I save all the water I can have 2 watering cans by the back door as I use the water on my veg plants. Plus any not to soapy washing up or hand washing water rest of the garden can have that. I don't water plants with clean water. Soapy water doesn't seem to harm them .

Is anybody else struggling with high humidity again today? It’s not sunny, but the air is so heavy, currently 79% where I am in mid Wales, and is going up to 93% tonight. I’m working in the garden, but I can only manage 20 minutes or so at a time, it’s exhausting.

Yes.

DH seems to be suffering more than me. I did some gardening and general tidying up indoors this morning but that's enough for a couple of hours!

The last owner of our house left his portable air con unit behind for us. It lives in the garage during the winter. It’s quite large, clunky and noisy and we (rather inefficiently) hang the hose out of the window but it really does makes a huge difference to the temperature in the room.

Portable air con do make a huge difference, or so I believe.

Ours are fairly quiet, small, roll around, and my husband fitted vents for them by engineering the hoses to fit openings he also engineered.

They work a treat!
